EM QUIS DICLRE'FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1809. , na . a Mr. BAKER, Private Secretary to Aar. ADAIR, our Ambas , iador to . the Ottoman Court; arrived with dispatches from Constantinople, with _the Ratifica tion of the Treaty of Peace between Great Britain ails Turkey. It is said that Mr. BAKER also brought intelligence Al (len Sir 14 RFORD JONks,•stating, that he had finally .ecticladcd a Treaty of Peace with Persia; and had ac .tnally. prpcured . the chstuission of the .French Em basy to that country. . . ;We this mbrning..receiy,ert Spunicli Papers of the date of the-27th ult: Theinews they contain is ra ther Of a favo . uratilenatnre, tint not' very important. Some small detachments of the Frepc,h have been attacked and defeated by the i . Sp . aniards. We areluivpy to find that,they perseVere in this harass ing's' ecfes of warfare, witch must be pe.Etharlidis- tressing to the :French, - and in which the Spaniards from their local knowledge, must always ha%e the NAVAL NEWS. advantage. It has been rumoured, but• we believe without any. foundation in fa& 'that Parliament is to meet for the dispatch-of business before Christmas. We are at a loss "to discover to what motive we ought to ascribe the daily attacks which are made upon Lord WELLINGTON we really, cannot ac count for such inveterate hostility. An Officer ab sent, fighting the battles of his country, is entitled, :we think, to a more candid treatment from his countrymen. •We are told that Lord WELLINGTON is seriously indisposed with an ague and fever; bui neither absence nor illness can soften the rancour of, his enemies, and the libels in ,the Moniteur are made use of to blast the chara6ter of a British Ge neral, who has gained so many viaories, and who has rendered so many important services to his Country. Lord WELLINGTON defeated a 'French army twice as numerous as his own, arid therefore it is easy to'accoutit for the virulence with which BtIONAI!ARTE speaks of him in the Moniteur; but how has he merited the attacks which•arodaily made upon him in this" Country ! . Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock; a Cabinet Council was held'at the Foreign OfEce, which was attended' by' the following • Meenhers the LORD. CHAtICELLOR,, Earls, BATHURST, HARROWDY, .LI VERPOOL, CAMORN,WESTICALAND, and CHATHAM, Lord MULGRAVF; and the CHANCELLOR'OI the Ex- CHEQUER; One of the principal obstacles to the progress of the Negociation 'between France and Austria; is said to have related.to the possession of Sppalatro by the Austrians;. but it appears that they have now as sented to the total cession of Dalmatia. .We are. happy ,to have it in our power to state, that when 'Captain PELLY, Aid-de-Camp to General wino was the hearer of the .dispatches receiv. , ed on Wednesday by the Duke of Marlborough 13acket, left the army, 'Lord WELLINGTONwai in good health, and •the army had snared no extraor dinary 'degree of indisposition. This account is corroborated by private letters, from o,te of Which we have Made' the following extracts PLYMOUTH, OCT. 18.—Arrived the Endeavour hired armed brig, with 11 colliers from Wales ; the Squirm, SQUIRE, from Cork ; the Requin, TUCKER ; and Thomas, SWAPPIN, from Meath.

A day or two w ill shew us whether there is any truth in this report, which is considered very favourable, standing as we do in such need of improvement." .~=~~ j Yesterday Mr. Mo ERIER arrived with dispatches from Sir HAAI.OIID JONES, ,wli6i4i L ri:,4 , on an im portant mission to the Persian Government. this conveyance we have received 'a letter from a .

However, a lettii arrived the other day from thd Governor-General, saying, as the'Persian poverinpent had refesed ad• mittance to his own Ambassador, General MO.' comv, any advances ought to come from them, and orders his 4celletiey Sir FIAILIORD - JONES to leave the country instantly, and annuls hiS POWers. The King,daowever, has detained Sir li.trotto until be hears from England.. We of, course look out for ler• ' Mottutaa's return with great *patience:: • i • We have been favoured with the following Ex tra& of a private Letter yesterday from ConstantiT nople, which, though of an old date, throws some light on the state of Ottoman politics : . `g CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 6.—The Messen g er . BASILIC() ,arrive 4 here yesterday with the ratification of the Turkish Treaty. The French still maintain a considerable influence in the Divan. The very name of BUONAPARTi makes them tremble , and no thing but decisive viaories of the Archdt..ke CH ARLES over the common enemy of Europe can, I• believe,. save thii distracted Empire from inevitable destruc lion. The Turkish Ministers appear to be infatuat ed, and to have lost not only the power of fairly dis tinguishing between friends and enemie , , 'but even of providing toe their own preservation. The Grand Vizier Marches this day from the capital, at the head of 40,000 Janissaries. His army .on the,Da nube, when assembled, will amount to nearly one hundred and fifty thousand men, a-force fully equal to repel the Russians; but • the result l of this cam : paign, like that of 'every other in Europe, depends on the fate of the ArchdUke. Our communication with the Continent-is wholly cut off-by the Russians on the Danube, and the serviaus and Bosnians in league with them against the Porte. Our last ac counts from Vienna are to the 29th of May, -when the Austriim army had been triumphant. No bu si7 ness can be done here with certainty, until we know . more of what is passing.on the Danube. A Persian -Envoy is daily expected here on his way : to var Court. - Sir H. JONES has succeeded in his mission,- but the activity and address of the French in the Oriental Courts is Almost incredible."
